Update on Sisters in Black Forest

The sisters of Benet Hill are so very grateful for everyone who have been praying, calling and caring for us. All the sisters have been safe during the evacuation time. The sisters are getting back into the daily routine at the monastery.

We ask you to continue praying with us for the thousands who are affected by all the fires and our neighbors who have lost homes during this devastating event. We all pray for healing and renewal through this process of recovery.

Benedictine Prayer for Peace

St. Benedict, you were a man of peace. You walked the path of peace your whole life long and led all who came to you into the ways of peace. Help us, St. Benedict, to achieve peace: peace in our hearts, peace in our homes,peace in our sorely troubled world.
Through your powerful intercession with God help us to be peace-makers. Aid us to work for peace,to take the first step in ending bitterness, to be the first to hold out our hands in friendship and forgiveness.
Beg God to let peace permeate our lives so that they may be lived in grace and love. At the end of our lives obtain for us theReward of the peacemakers, the eternal blessed vision of God in heaven.
Amen.
